FINALIST 2024
Hayley’s raw honesty about her experience of depression has resonated with so many people. Her openness about the dark times she’s been through shows how life-threatening depression can be. But Hayley’s message doesn’t leave us feeling helpless. It’s full of genuine optimism and hope.
“Every single day, I think about every person who’s got depression and I just blow them a kiss. If they think they have got no one that loves them, I’m sending out that I do.”
Hayley’s video is part of our series about depression. When you're living with a mental health problem, or supporting someone who is, having access to the right information is vital. This video series is a mix of real people’s stories and experiences, and animations that give reliable, accessible and practical information to help people on their journey to recovery.
Even though 1 in 4 people have mental health problems, most of us don’t get the help we need. This has to change. We’re Mind. We’re here to fight mental health. For support for respect, for you. We change minds across England and Wales by making mental health an everyday priority. By standing up to the injustices – in healthcare, in work, in law – which make life harder for those of us with mental health problems. We support minds – offering help whenever you might need it through our information, advice and local services. And we connect minds. Bringing together an unstoppable network of individuals and communities – people who care about mental health to make a difference. Join us in the fight for mental health. We won’t stop until everyone experiencing a mental health problem gets both support and respect. |
